Redskin is a slang term for Native Americans in the United States and First Nations in Canada. The term "redskin" underwent pejoration through the 19th to early 20th centuries[1] and in contemporary dictionaries of American English it is labeled "usually offensive",[2] "disparaging",[3][4] "insulting",[5] or "taboo".[6]
What Native America tribe is named Redskin (Cherokee, Apache, Navajo, etc) ? There are not any. Redskin is only and has always only been a racial slur. Do you think a team could be named, the yellowskins, the blackskins, the brownskins, the whiteskins? It would not fly and this is not acceptable either.
